Wouldn't it be great if just one company per 10 articles about European companies "looking for alternatives" was actually ditching US services for European alternatives?
Yeah, unfortunately the cloud providers did exactly what they wanted,put companies into the daunting task of trying to migrate off their platforms. It was designed so that you would slowly become dependent on your provider.
It's why I push k8s and cloud native everywhere. Never depend on your provider. Hell, span over multiple providers if you can. The only thing I approve of in a manger service is databases, it's just too easy, but it's also relatively easy to migrate to a new db provider.
